Well, because I already had my lunch.

By the way, this is thai fried rice. Choice of beef, chicken and pork. My friend chose the beef. It looked pretty ordinary. The smell was wonderfully aromatic. My first nibble. I think it started a domino effect of many more nibbles. Every single grain was separated. Even though it was fried, it still had that teeny bit of fluffyness. Beautiful seasonings, not overly salty, slight peppery and a subtle hint of wokhei or breath of the wok, #epitome of a very good fried rice. The egg was runny, silky and crisp at the edges. Addictively yummy! One of the best fried rice I have eaten. And I hardly post fried rice on ig!!

This thai eatery is somewhat a hidden gem right in Orchard. Prices range from $5 onwards. Menu include the tomyum soup, noodles, rice, thai salads etc. A very enjoyable nibbling. Will certainly go back for more. Have to thank my friend @tadayoshi_tenkai for bringing us there.

I was observing the way the aunty was frying. There was smoke wafting through the air... breath of the wok. Got me so anxious.
鈼解椌
A plate that was ordinary. There was abit of that char kway teow taste. But it was missing the wokhei. Perhaps my expectations were alittle high.
鈼解椌
Still a decent plate, no doubt. This kopitiam is quite hidden and has a certain 1950s charm. If you like old school, this is the place to be.

Now managed by the gen-y.

I have not tasted the one by the older generation so cannot tell if it was the same or different. The broth was abit sweet for my liking. Pork ribs were tender and juicy. The broth for the soupy version was very little and no top ups were given (according to the sign pasted on the glass). There were only one and a half prawns (sliced).
鈼解椌
It is a decent bowl but not the best I have tasted. For $8 per bowl, it was to me atad pricey. At least if I see afew more prawns, I might not feel that "pinch". #prawnnoodles #lunch #hungrygowhere #burpple #8dayseat #instafoodsg #instagood #photooftheday #bloggers #photographers #bestfoodphoto #foodphotography #eatoutsg #sgig #jiaklocal #singaporeinsiders #tagsforlikes #sgfood #sgfoodies
It is tender. It is creamy. Panfried seabass with crisp skin and soft white flesh. Garnished with crunchy ikan bilis and an egg. Sprinkled with crushed nuts. It has all the textures that I liked. Very mild taste of green tea. 鈼解椌
This to me this was like a deconstructed thunder tea rice. But hey, I finished every single grain and I took only 10 mins because I was famished!

All I could think of was a bowl of piping hot soup, any kind of soup... just got to be soup.
鈼解椌
Maybe because I craved for soup, I truly enjoyed slurping this beef soup. Putting aside my wants and the must have. The beef broth was indeed flavorful. It was not overpowered by the beefy goodness. Tasted atad herbalish. La mian (pulled noodle) was wonderfully stretched... literally. Springy and firm. To avoid that monotony of a rich broth, I had it with pickled vegetables for a citrussy undertone.
鈼解椌
Soupy desire indeed satisfied. What about you? Do you have something which you would like to eat today?

A small cozy eatery. Minimalistic decor. Run by a brother and sister team and a third partner.
鈼解椌
On the menu, expect foods like japanese curry rice, don, soba and a few side dishes. What we had today was new on the menu. Gyu-men which is noodles in beef broth and garnished with thin slices of beef. Broth actually appeared unassuming. There was an umami beefyness but yet quite light on the palate. Beef were soaked in the marinades and seasonings for awhile and cooked ala minute. The noodles was a tad aldente with a subtle chewy bite.
鈼解椌
Prices, ranging from $8.90, are kept quite affordable. Food is homestyle and comforting. It is like the kind of food you would want to have at home away from home.

So yeah, nothing beats wanton mee when clueless me just cannot decide.
鈼解椌
A firm bite of noodles. Very thin slices of charsiew. Wished it had a teeny amount of fats. The chili sauce had a slight tangy finish. Some might not like that hint of twang. As a wanton meeholic, I certainly prefer mine with no acidity but with a more bodied chilli sauce.
鈼解椌
Still, quite a good eat even though it was a second choice.

@halcyoncrane opened its doors today by the very same people behind @birdsofafeathersg . The menu caters to those who wants to eat healthy, also to those who wants to eat heartily and those who just want to eat.
鈼解椌
I have not tried their foods yet but hopefully will get a chance to. So if you are in Paragon, just swing by.

That time of the year again. Starting it simple. Starting it light. Start what, you say? My birthday month.
鈼解椌
Saying no to fine dining. But saying yes to spending time with the right people, those who do not mind going hawker centres snd kopitiams with me. No need for gifts because the gift of time and true honest friendship from the right people are more than enough.

My first bowl of noodle in October. Simple and satisfying. A gentle kickstart to my birthday month.

Crispy or perhaps I should say "it is crackling". Alittle sweet and alittle spicy. Spice level was at 1.5, 3 being the highest. This will give your palate a tingle. Addictive and finger licking good.

Presented in an iron skillet. A rustic, very English countryside breakfast feel. This was a flavorful earthy dish without being too cloying.

@gastrosmiths moved from their Bugis about two years ago.

This braised beef is a new item on the menu. Chunky but tender USDA chuck beef that were braised in Asahi kuranama black beer, molasses and veal stock. Gravy had a thick and smooth consistency. It was indeed aromatic and a bold beefy aftertone. Molasses which is a sweetener made from sugarcane and is supposedly healthier. The beer would have evaporated during the cuisson. I could actually forgo the fries and prefer a healthier option such as salad or root veges by the side.
鈼解椌
Still a tasty dish, no doubt. And thanks to @burpplebeyond I had a one for one main so I saved 50% off my total bill.

@gastrosmiths is only opened for dinner on weekdays, brunch and dinner on weekends. The food is actually quite flavorful and menu changes every now and then. Worth a visit.
